Who Swtor was made for.

You do realise that you dont just invest money into an mmo, you invest talent, ideas and concepts, you give the green light for this and the black light for that. You provide all the relevent lore and more then likly most if not all of the initial art concepts that were then developed by bioware.

You dont think that lucas arts have an invested interest into making swtor the biggest game ever to have hit the market. That the title of star wars will only bring in more profit and vision onto Lucas Arts and in the end make the name of lucas arts greater or worse dependant on how the game developes and survives within the market.

Lucas arts took a huge knock with SOE and you really think they are going to stand back and do nothing apart from just say here is a license do whatever you like, you dont represent us one bit.

I couldn't agree with you any more.

Almost got it- i'll give you a B for effort.

And what are the "HC" going for? What rewards? The same rewards as the "casuals"?
In a better developed game, the more time you put in the more / better rewards you get. That makes sense yes?

In the perfect MMO, all players would have access to all content; However, how far you get in "end game' content depends on how well you play / what you are willing to do ( research etc).

Still with me? Okay...an example-

Wrath of the Lich King, for World of Warcraft, was IMO, the best that game had to offer. Yes! it was "easy" to get epics but those epics were entry-level raid items. This means that even the Great Unwashed could at least gear up for ENTRY-LEVEL raiding; how you performed beyond that was up to the individual player.

But! Oh my the "HC" went ape-****. How dare these pigglings enter our houses!

And its a vicious cycle.

Blizzard did the right thing with WotLC, and I was hoping for more with Cata but...yeah. So I turned my gaze to SWTOR and...

Yeah once the groundwork is finished you'll start to see what tgus game really has to offer...I had my most fun playing WoW not during vanilla, but towards the middle of TBC and WOTL. Once this games first major expansion comes out to me will determine the direction this game will go.

Hey everyone,

We recently had to remove several posts for being off topic. A reminder that threads created in General Discussion should stay focused on Star Wars™: The Old Republic™, and should exclude any real life discussions concerning politics.

Thanks for understanding!

(I won't lie, but This thread will be canceled. I made a similar thread, it's now in file z)

And good to hear your being honest. It is a bit ironic people get made fun of for being a new MMO player?
Oh here's a tip- if it's too easy, try NOT using a companion. I think companions tip the balance in your favor.


Thanks.

"you don't spend 300 million on a game for 70k-100k subscriptions."

What world does this dude live in? 70k? gg BioWare.

I rather play a poor performing game than a game with this design philosophy.

I consider myself a Hardcore gamer or used to that is,if people are searching for hard content then by all means go to EQ2 i still play it and the raids took over a year for top guilds to bring down some of the final bosses just maybe two months ago.

That said im tired of HC raiding,and the types of people that it generally brings with it,i do not like easy mode but i enjoy a middle ground and so far SWTOR has provided that.

Since you quit again in your last thread ... by all means.

That is one of the dumbest things i have ever heard, you actualy think that EA only make SWTOR ?

I dare you to guess how many games on how many platforms ea produces and looks after and id bet you would still be way off the actual number.
